A statement attributed to ‘Allamah ibn Taymiyyah regarding the people of truth

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

Question

Is this statement authentic and what is the reference for it?

سُئل شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية: من هم أهل الحق قال: إما في السجون وإما في ساحات الوغى وإما في القبور

Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) was once asked, “Who are the people of truth?” He replied: ‘Either under the earth, in prison or in the battlefield.’”

Answer

I have not come across this statement of Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) in his books, nor have I seen other senior scholars/historians attribute it to him.

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
